  were running out of unicorns. 

145

  ready to play with Applejack  

146

       the Appleoosa team?      

147
00:07:18,538 --> 00:07:21,806
  I guess I'll find out. Plus,  
   after I deliver this water,  

148
00:07:21,841 --> 00:07:23,942
       I don't really have      
      anything else to do.      

149
00:07:23,977 --> 00:07:26,611
       Well, Snails, with       
        you on the team,        

150
00:07:26,646 --> 00:07:31,483

     to crushing Appleoosa.

155
00:07:40,159 --> 00:07:44,095
       Yeah. If you're not      
   crushing Appleoosa, who is?

         instead of you?        

160
00:08:02,682 --> 00:08:04,148
             Mm hm.

     you two are really good    

164
00:08:15,061 --> 00:08:17,795
     at this game and if it     
    means beating Appleoosa,    

165
00:08:17,830 --> 00:08:20,198
     I'll give either one of    
     you my spot on the team    

166

    Smith can core an apple.    

167

        the competition,        

170
00:08:29,642 --> 00:08:32,143
       but you still flew       
        rings around me.        

171
00:08:32,178 --> 00:08:35,213
        Oh, I'm sorry. I        
      was just having fun.      

172
00:08:35,248 --> 00:08:38,082
   Well, you can have all the   
  fun you want as long as it's  

173

175
00:08:43,656 --> 00:08:46,224
     Honestly, the game was     
    a little scary at first,    

176
00:08:46,259 --> 00:08:49,727
   but once I got the hang of   
  it, I had a pretty good time. 

177
00:08:49,762 --> 00:08:53,031
         Let's get this         
         party started!         

178
00:08:53,066 --> 00:08:56,301
   All right, but if we really  
      wanna beat Appleoosa,     

179
00:08:56,336 --> 00:08:58,870
        we're gonna have        
         to get serious.        

180
00:08:58,905 --> 00:09:00,572

          Serious how?          

182
00:09:04,644 --> 00:09:08,580
     With serious practice!     

183
00:09:08,615 --> 00:09:12,784
Wow. This looks                 
pretty intense.                 

184
00:09:12,819 --> 00:09:15,753
     Well, duh. You two are     
      gonna be representing     

185
00:09:15,788 --> 00:09:19,857
      all of Ponyville, and     
     more importantly...Us!     

186
00:09:19,892 --> 00:09:22,727
   That's why before we leave   
     for Appleoosa tomorrow,    

187
00:09:22,762 --> 00:09:25,863
   you two are gonna practice   
    just as hard as we would.

00:13:44,290 --> 00:13:46,557
      for when you get back     
    after whoopin' Appleoosa.

 everypony was counting on them

            Finally!            

353
00:18:34,613 --> 00:18:36,514
             [thunk]            

354
00:18:36,549 --> 00:18:39,483
    You must have noticed how   
     you aren't bad anymore.    

355
00:18:39,518 --> 00:18:42,419
               Oooh yeah. Weird.

356
00:18:42,454 --> 00:18:46,257
But um, why were we             
so terrible before?             

357
00:18:46,292 --> 00:18:48,692
       I guess some ponies      
       thrive on pressure       

358
00:18:48,727 --> 00:18:50,594
     and some ponies don't.     

359
00:18:50,629 --> 00:18:52,830
And even though we weren't      
playing, we were treating       

360
00:18:52,865 --> 00:18:56,333
you like us which totally       
stressed you out.               

361
00:18:56,368 --> 00:18:59,403
  And that just sucked the fun  
 right out of the game for you. 

362
00:18:59,438 --> 00:19:01,172
And having fun is               
what makes you                  

363
00:19:01,207 --> 00:19:03,474
really, really,                 
really good.                    

364
00:19:03,509 --> 00:19:06,310
     But being good doesn't     
   matter if we're too afraid   

365
00:19:06,345 --> 00:19:08,445
     of letting ponies down.    

366
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,915
   Yeah. What about all those   
    ponies back in Ponyville    

367
00:19:10,950 --> 00:19:13,250
     counting on us to win.     

368
00:19:13,285 --> 00:19:14,852
       I'm sure folks want      
           you to win,          

369
00:19:14,887 --> 00:19:17,655
    but not if worrying about   
     it makes you miserable.    

370
00:19:17,690 --> 00:19:20,191
   Winning's never worth that.  

371
00:19:20,226 --> 00:19:23,294
       But how do we keep       
     from worrying about it?    

372
00:19:23,329 --> 00:19:26,530
     You could do what I do     
     and not think about it.    

373
00:19:26,565 --> 00:19:30,734
    Seriously, I don't think    
      about anything. Ever.     

374
00:19:30,769 --> 00:19:32,436
              Hmm, works for me!

375
00:19:37,543 --> 00:19:39,276
         [roaring cheer]        

376
00:19:39,311 --> 00:19:41,312
   Announcer: And with another  
 bouncing goal from Pinkie Pie, 

377
00:19:41,347 --> 00:19:42,713
       the score is tied!       

378
00:19:44,783 --> 00:19:47,384
You guys are amazing!           

379
00:19:47,419 --> 00:19:49,587
    Braeburn is really good!    

380
00:19:49,622 --> 00:19:53,424
    So is that Pegasus. Oh I    
    don't know if we can win.   

381
00:19:53,459 --> 00:19:55,392
   You know what I would do...  

382
00:19:55,427 --> 00:19:58,229
Not think about it?             

383
00:19:58,264 --> 00:19:59,330
         ...not think--         

384
00:20:01,300 --> 00:20:04,735
         Oh. Yeah. That.        

385
00:20:04,770 --> 00:20:06,670
And as long as                  
you're having fun,              

386
00:20:06,705 --> 00:20:08,773
it doesn't matter               
if you win or not.              

387
00:20:10,442 --> 00:20:11,542
        [whistle tweets]        

388
00:20:13,545 --> 00:20:15,713
      Hee-hee! I think it's     
       more fun this way.       

389
00:20:18,517 --> 00:20:22,786
  And Pinkie wins the buckoff.  
    But her shot's rejected!    

390
00:20:22,821 --> 00:20:25,756
     Back to Braeburn, whose    
    kick's stopped by another   

391
00:20:25,791 --> 00:20:29,593
        Fluttershy save.        
        Next point wins.        

392
00:20:29,628 --> 00:20:31,996
       Lots of tense back       
         and forth here.        

393
00:20:32,031 --> 00:20:34,832
      Fluttershy unleashes      
     her patented spin move.    

394
00:20:34,867 --> 00:20:36,500
    But Braeburn's there to-    

395
00:20:36,535 --> 00:20:39,637
      NO! It's Pinkie with      
       a somersault kick.       

396
00:20:39,672 --> 00:20:44,642
     What a move! And that's    
    the game! Ponyville wins!   

397
00:20:44,677 --> 00:20:50,014
     PONY-VILLE! PONY-VILLE!    
     PONY-VILLE! PONY-VILLE!    

398
00:20:50,049 --> 00:20:54,918
     PONY-VILLE! PONY-VILLE!    

399
00:20:54,953 --> 00:20:58,789
      Looks like you three      
    made quite an impression.   

400
00:20:58,824 --> 00:21:01,525
                 Well, cousin, I
                 have to admit, 

401
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,395
       your Ponyville team      
   played a pretty good game.   

402
00:21:04,430 --> 00:21:09,533
  Ha! Good game? We bucked the  
    hooves right off of you.    

403
00:21:09,568 --> 00:21:11,935
 Yep. You sure as shootin' did. 

404
00:21:11,970 --> 00:21:14,438
   I'm gonna have to get real   
    serious about a strategy    

405
00:21:14,473 --> 00:21:16,507
        for our rematch.        

406
00:21:16,542 --> 00:21:18,976
 Oh, I wouldn't get too serious.

407
00:21:19,011 --> 00:21:22,379
    Yeah. Everypony knows the   
     secret to good Buckball    

408
00:21:22,414 --> 00:21:25,082
       is just having fun!      

409
00:21:25,117 --> 00:21:28,386
           [laughter]
